Ning Shuyi followed Huo Yan forward with one foot at a time, and sighed silently in his heart, how difficult it was for the colleagues who went out to the scene before, it was very inconvenient to walk lightly, not to mention that he had to transport such a corpse out and load it into the car.

"We don't have to go any further, just stand here and see." After walking about halfway, Huo Yan stopped and motioned to Ning Shuyi, who was following behind him, "Look over there!"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the left front, and Ning Shuyi looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw that at the other end of the grove, separated by a ditch and a muddy field, there seemed to be another country road.

"I looked at the map around here before I came," Huo Yan told Ning Shuyi, "On the way we came, when the country road was halfway through, there was a fork in the road, if you turned from the fork in the road at that time, you should have reached the road over there, there is a village in that direction, and Luo Wei and they are going to that side today."

He turned again, in the direction they had just come, and pointed in the distance ahead, "Continue along this road, and then go uphill, there is another village, plus the village we passed on the way here, there are three villages in this vicinity."

"Although the roads of the three villages do not directly pass through that small forest, if you want to walk around each other, or go to the county or city, these village roads are the only way to go." Ning Shuyi pursed her lips, "Although I don't know how many permanent residents there are in a village, at least this area will not be so desolate that even large beasts can run out to move!"

"So it's weird." Huo Yan nodded.

"Let's go, go to the village we just passed by and ask someone to inquire!" Ning Shuyi beckoned to Huo Yan, at this moment she had completely recovered from her previous discomfort, and she was full of high morale again.

In the afternoon, the two men finished their visit to the village they were responsible for, got back into the car, and prepared to return to the bureau.

Even though she was already wearing comfortable sneakers, Ning Shuyi still felt that her feet were sore from walking too much.

The person who reported the crime before was a resident of the village they visited, because he was more idle on weekdays, and he ran to fish early in the morning with a homemade fishing rod, and took a shortcut from the woods, and happened to see the corpse inside.

Because of this, Ning Shuyi and the others just started to visit and inquire in the village, and they found that the villagers here were basically clear about the dead people around them.

For this matter, the people in the village had two completely different reactions, one was curious, just listening to the situation told by the person who reported the case felt that it was not enough to satisfy their curiosity, seeing the police come to inquire and understand the situation, they hurriedly pulled Ning Shuyi and them to ask questions, wanting to satisfy their curiosity.

The other is that no matter what, in the place where you can walk around your residence, someone dies there, or dies horizontally, and the death is so terrifying, which is really unlucky, not to mention cooperating with the investigation, I don't even want to listen to it, and it is unlucky to be asked.

The two of them worked for most of the day and ate a few closed doors, but fortunately, they still inquired about the basic situation.

This village is not far from the scene of the crime, and the villagers usually need to pass through the surrounding area from time to time, except for walking, most of them are riding motorcycles and bicycles, and there are not a few cars passing by on the nearby country roads all day and night.

Nothing is missing in the village.

According to the words of the village secretary: "This village is up and down, basically not relatives, but also with the cause, up to the top of the two or three generations are relatives, who know everyone, if it is really said that someone in the family has an accident, lost and cannot be found, the village must have been in an uproar for a long time, and it will not be able to hide it at all."

As for whether there are any more ferocious beasts around, the question also makes the inhabitants of the village laugh.

"You two young people are so good at making jokes!" When an old lady in her sixties was asked by Ning Shuyi, she leaned back and smiled with a smile, "In our area, there are still fierce beasts?!"

Don't talk about it now, just when I'm your age, this

The wildest beast in the area is probably the rabbit! There may be weasels and snakes, but nothing else has been seen before!

Now you're going to say what's the most ferocious thing around here? Then it is estimated that there will only be the geese in the village! They are the most fierce, and they are chased by people! One bite will turn a large piece purple!"

Her daughter-in-law hurriedly waved her hand on the side: "Mom! It's not the right time for you to have fun with other people!

But seriously, there are really no ferocious beasts in our area, let alone wild beasts, even if it is a dog in the village, you can see those wandering around casually outside, aren't they all puppies!

Now there are very few people on our side who raise big dogs to watch the home and nursery, after all, there are usually no living people in the village, and there are no valuable things at home, so it is worth being so careful to guard against them!

This big dog, whether there is a use for that caretaker is another matter, if you really accidentally bite someone, how much money do you have to pay for others!

So once in a while, if anyone has a big dog, the gate must be closed tightly, chained, and the courtyard wall must not be too low, and it will definitely not be able to escape!"

The rest of the village also told them that they often passed by the woods, and although no one was bored enough to run there to do anything, at least they could confirm that there were absolutely no signs of predators in the area.

As for whether there have been any people coming to the village recently, the villagers of the village that Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan visited have said that there are no outsiders in recent times, except for the children who are going to college outside and have come home from summer vacation.

There are not a few cars passing by on the country road every day, but those people are just passing by, and there are no farmhouses in the nearby villages, nor are there any mountain villas, picking gardens or the like, so there are no strangers to stay.

At the end of the visit, the two people drove back to the city, and returned to the city just in time for the evening rush hour after work, and the red and bright tail lights on the road, and when they finally stopped and stopped, stopped and walked back to the bureau, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening.

Although I felt a little tired when I visited there before, it was okay, I took a break on the way back from sitting in the car, and then got out of the car and walked a few steps, Ning Shuyi felt that the soles of his feet were a little painful.

Looking at the time, she simply called Ning's father and told him that he didn't have to leave food for himself, and that it would not be too early to finish his work here, so he simply didn't go back, and made do with half a night in the unit.
